"The Kia Carens is a symbol of the great leap forward Kia recently: it is well built, well equipped, cheap to run and better- looking than many MPVs. "
The Kia Carens is an MPV midsize, middle price segment (Multi-Purpose Vehicle), which competes with the Volkswagen Touran, Vauxhall Zafira Tourer, Ford S-MAX and Citroen C4 Picasso. While the Carens has seven seats, the two are in the third row is best as an emergency or occasional options. They are closely and take most of the boot-up, if any, although how this is a common problem with cars. When seven people who regularly wear with it, it may be worth, rather than looking at a full-size people carrier like the Ford Galaxy.
Kia Carens with the 133bhp 1.6-liter petrol engine features and a 1.7-liter diesel, available with 114 or 139bhp. The fuel returns 45.6mpg and emits 143 g / km CO2, road tax make £ 145 per year. If you cover a lot of miles, one makes the diesels make more sense because they Whichever engine you are going to indulge both return 62.8mpg and costs just £ 30 per year tax
no illusions. The Carens is not accelerate for the convenience. 0-62mph takes 10.9 seconds with the petrol engine as you want for more oomph, if you choose the 114bhp diesel: its 0-62mph time of 13.2 seconds means acceleration is relaxed, to say the least. The 139bhp diesel is far more usable power, take dead with 0-62mph 10 seconds. They note that (with only the 139bhp diesel engine), an automatic transmission information Average consumption drop 58.9mpg and 0-62mph time increase to 11.6 seconds, while higher CO2 emissions mean one sees £ 110 per year in road tax will pay.

with the relaxed theme True, the soft suspension 'Carens makes it a very comfortable car, you and your passengers from potholes and poor roads insulating. You do not want to take corners too fast, though, as the pronounced body lean that follows is likely to provoke complaints from your passengers. Keen drivers who need a practical seven-seater should carefully consider the Ford S-MAX, the participation to drive far more.
Inside the Carens' large windows and high seating position give a great view and it feels pleasantly spacious. The front five seats can all slide back and forth independently, so the layout of the configuration is easily adapted to your needs. Cubbyholes and storage space abound, while it is also a cooling glovebox is to cool your drinks
Kia approach its equipment options for naming is refreshingly simple :. Fetching a number between one and four, and the higher it is, the more equipment you get. Entry-level 1 has air conditioning, Bluetooth phone connectivity, LED running lights, cruise control and all-round electric windows -. But if you choose this model, your only engine option is the 1.6-liter petrol

We 2 trim move recommended, as this allows you to select one of three engines "Carens and adds alloy wheels, dual-zone automatic air conditioning, rear parking sensors ., automatic wipers and fog lights for about £ 1,0, if you are either with the petrol 1.6 liter satisfied or the 114bhp diesel, it is worth the special SR7 trim check-out, which - while a departure from normal Kia naming strategy - costs just £ 300 more than 1, but includes alloy wheels, automatic headlights and wipers and rear parking sensors.
of Kia Carens is seriously well equipped in 3 and 4 above, with the Carens 3 get leather seats and navigation and the Carens 4 take advantage of a panoramic sunroof and a self-parking system. Both come equipped with the 139bhp diesel engine. Push the price 'Carens well over the £ 20,000 mark, although that is hard to justify
reliability and safety are both equally reassuring. Kia seven years / 100,000-mile warranty is the best in the industry (and fully transferable to subsequent owners), while a five-star crash test rating from Euro NCAP reassurance for families looking for a safe MPV offers.
